...complaints merely attracted more unseemly goings-on than ever. A merciless churchgoer, she embroiled the gentle parish priest in her quarrel, soon had all Clochemerle divided into Urinophobes and Urinophiles. Scandals grew and burgeoned, culminating in a near-riot in the church itself. After that, disasters followed fast. Jealous citizens from a neighboring village came by night, blew up the urinal; the Government, with mistaken zeal, quartered troops on Clochemerle and precipitated a real riot; the old maid went frankly, starkly crazy. Even then there was no telling what might have happened if a terrible thunderstorm had not descended...
...only fitting in a musical comedy, the story is built to fit the songs and dances and achieves just the proper melodramatic touch in doing so. The elder Strauss, his waltzes on the lips of all Europe, is jealous of his son who shows a talent equal to his own, even if in a style abhorrent to the father. He thwarts his son's ambitions to lead an orchestra and play the waltzes he fears may become more popular than his own. But he is in good turn himself thwarted in his machinations, by nothing less than the intrigues...
...lying Sussex cottage (where she does most of her work) and a tall house in London. She rarely makes a public appearance. She has no children. Careless of her clothes, her face, her greying hair, at 55 she is the picture of a sensitive, cloistered literary woman. Jealous juniors derisively style her "The Queen of Bloomsbury." Her physical existence is as sheltered now as it always has been. But in the 12-ft. square workroom, whose old-fashioned uncurtained windows overlook a half-acre of English garden, she has made a world of her own. It is not a cork...
...head and a sword in his belt, who flees north to a romance with a Puritan daughter chaffing at her restrictions. Their secret love--complete with assignations in the woods and kisses in the dark--runs up against some difficulties. Through a mistake a Salem wife becomes jealous, McMurray is kidnapped by sailors which climaxes with the conviction of Miss Colbert herself. The executioner is placing the noose about her neck when Fred charges up on a horse and explains that it is all a mistake. What makes the picture a considerably better-than-average adventure is the care taken...
...they generally name the Governor-General of Libya, His Excellency Grand Councilman Italo Balbo. Reason: Balbo led a mighty mass formation flight of Italian planes in 1933 to Chicago's Century of Progress Exposition and it is logical to suppose that the Lindbergh publicity he thus won "made Mussolini jealous," had its sequel when Il Duce packed him off out of the world's limelight to rule Libya. Last month Colonel & Mrs. Charles Augustus Lindbergh flew to be guests of Airman Balbo in his sand-strewn Balboland?and nearly escaped all publicity. In Rome the school of opinion close...
